Telugu playback singer V. Ramakrishna is dead
Veteran Telugu playback singer V. Ramakrishna, who was reportedly undergoing treatment for cancer for quite some time, breathed his last on Wednesday at his residence here. He was 68. "He passed away late last night at his Venkatagiri Hills residence," a family source told. Born in 1947, Ramakrishna, who has nearly 5,000 songs to his credit, started his career as a singer at a very young age on popular show Yuva Vani on All India Radio. Nephew of popular playback singer P. Susheela, Ramakrishna idolised legendary singer Ghantasala Venkateswara Rao. In 1972, he made his singing debut with the Telugu song "Vayase Oka Poolathota" from "Vichitra Bandham". He went on to sing several chartbusters in films such as "Andala Ramudu", "Sharada", "Alluri Seetharama Raju", "Muthyala Muggu" and "Amaradeepam". Ramakrishna is survived his wife Jyothi, son Sai Kiran, a popular Telugu actor and daughter Lekha. His last rites will be performed on Thursday.
A dream death song highlight of 'Ammini': Lakshmy Ramakrishnan
Actor-filmmaker Lakshmy Ramakrishnan has completed shooting the talkie portion of her upcoming Tamil directorial "Ammini". She says a dream death song in the movie will be a major highlight. “All of us dream about good things in life. But the protagonist in ‘Ammini’ dreams about her death, (and that is) in the form of a song. There’s a reason why she picturizes her death and feels proud about it. It gives us reasons to celebrate life. This song will be the highlight of the film,” Lakshmy told. The film’s composer K has roped in 80-year Gulab Band to add a new “flavour” to the song, which features the voice of singer Mukesh. “We have already recorded the song. It has come out well. I’m taking a short trip to the US. As soon as I return, I’ll shoot the song. The rest of the movie’s shoot has already been completed,” she said. Talking about the inspiration behind the idea to include a dream death song, Lakshmy said: “The last procession of late filmmaker K Balachander inspired me. Thousands of unknown faces from outside the industry had come to bid him adieu. These were the people who even celebrated his death because they missed him dearly. “For one second, I felt I should go away with such fanfare. It was a peculiar feeling because nobody thinks about death even for a minute but that was the trigger behind the thought to create situation like this in the film." "Ammini" is based on the inspiring yet funny attitude towards life of a 79-year-old woman ragpicker whom Lakshmy had met in real life. Besides directing the film, Lakshmy has played the lead in the film and admits it was “extremely challenging” to do both. “I’ve never done something like this before. I play a north Madras resident, who works as a help in a government hospital. I had to pick up on a new accent and change my body language to suit the character,” said Lakshmy, who felt nobody else could’ve played the titular role better because she had “conceived” it and “lived” with it. Produced by Ven Govinda, who also felt only Lakshmy could do justice to the protagonist, thle film also features senior actress Subbalakshmi, Nithin Satya and Balaji in important roles.
Ravikrishna's miraculous escape
A high intensity motorbike chase sequence was filmed in the dense forests of Rajamundry as part of the climax for the film 'Kadhalna Summa Illa' recently. The scene involved the hero of the film Ravikrishna along with Sarvanand to chase down a group of terrorists on motor cycles. The artists were upbeat about the sequence as a lot of energy was needed for the shots. Unfortunately, a stuntman's (acting as a terrorist) motorbike lost control and crashed into Ravikrishna's bike sending him out of control. Since he was traveling quite fast he was thrown into a nearby ravine along with his bike. The director of the film Illangkannan and the rest of the crew were shocked to see this happening. As luck would have it, Ravikrishna did not fall into a huge pit that was very near the place. Though dazed, Ravikrishna thankfully did not sustain any injuries. After a while the young actor returned to work amidst cheering members of the unit. 'Kadhalna Summa Illa' is produced by the Raj TV network and showcases Kamalinee Mukherjee as the heroine. Tejashree would feature in an item song. The film's shooting is to take place in Pollachi followed by a twenty-day schedule in Chennai.
